Hello! My name is Sourov Dey and I am a solo traveler from West Bengal, India. I am currently traveling slowly across India on foot and by hitchhiking, trying to understand real life, people, and culture beyond tourist places. I live very simply and believe in respectful, low-impact travel. I enjoy meaningful conversations, listening to peopleโs life stories, and learning from local experiences. I am calm, clean, non-smoker, non-drinker, and I always respect house rules and personal space. Whenever possible, I like to contribute by helping with small tasks such as cleaning, organizing, cooking help, or any kind of volunteer support. I donโt expect luxuryโjust a safe place to rest and genuine human connection. For me, Couchsurfing is not about free stay, but about trust, sharing, and learning from each other. I believe every meeting teaches something valuable. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Wishing you good journeys and good people ๐ฑ โ Sourov
I PREFER HOSTING PEOPLE WHO HOST ================================ ABOUT ME Hi, I am Supratim from Kolkata, India. I speak Bengali, the sixth most spoken language in the world. Like most Bengalees I like 'adda', which in Bengali means endless and purposeless chatting over countless cups of tea. But my first love is music. And my second love is travelling. I have been travelling all over India since childhood, first with my parents and then with family and friends. My job demanded me to travel in remote corners of India two weeks every month and I enjoy every bit of it. But I wanted to see more. So I left my job on 31st December 2017. Now I wish to travel all over India in my own small car. I also want to see other parts of the world. I think I am an honest and straightforward person (sometimes a bit too much for my convenience) who can be trusted with his words. I am indebted to the society for what I am today and would like to pay back a part of it in my own insignificant way. ME AS A HOST **************** I like hosting. I have reserved a good part of my house for hosting. I try to provide my guests some comfort (no luxury), some privacy and a family environment. I spend some quality time with all my guest and show them around if time permits. And when asked I also try to help them out with their travel plans. However, after hosting indiscriminately for three years now I am a bit selective about whom I host. I look for surfers whom I can call friends long after they are gone. ME AS A SURFER ******************* As a surfer I am usually accompanied by my wife Sonali who is my equal partner is hosting. We are budget travelers. We plan our trips months in advance and usually stick to our schedule. We use public transport, cook as far as possible, avoid costly monuments, walk a lot - in a way try to make best use of our resources without making too many compromises. We don't party at night, rather we spend a nice evening with our host sharing our stories. For a couple of days we will stay like family members and hope that you will remember us long after we are gone. Just one thing, we do not want to be hosted by people who want us out when they are away from home.
Do go through the "Jojo's Home" Section as that would be far more relevant to your stay in my city. I am very easygoing, I always have a smile on my face and love a good laugh. I've been hosting ever since June, 2015 and haven't looked back ever since. :-) Having hosted over 280 surfers now, I've had a wonderful time hosting many people from all over the world and I would love to host you as well. I have traveled quite extensively and have met some amazing people and now it's my time to give back and help out any surfer in need. Even though I sometimes get crazy busy during the week, I have always found a way to give back to the Couch Surfing community and I love every moment. Therefore, I am more than certain you would enjoy your stay with me. :-) And now, for the show! โA journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.โ โ Tim Cahill
